So I have gone crash free for a while now....until last weekend
2 rides / 5 crashes
nothing more than bruises/scratches after hitting tree/falling on 3 rocks/endoing/landing on falling tree after hitting tree on other side of trail
and 1 racking of the goodies
all in all it was a good weekend

i almost wanted to scrape my right leg on the ground when I finished the ride so that I didn't have a limb that was left out of the scratched and bruised extravaganza

Crashing gives you character. Although my preferred type are the silly ones that have everyone including myself laughing..not gashed and hemorrhaging blood, but it comes with the territory..  |

I want a report on the bike! How was it? How was the suspension? Details man, details.

I have to vouch for FACTORe on the first fall. There was a sniper in the woods. I was right behind him, i saw a flash, i heard a BAM, and there he was on the ground. Clear out of the blue!!!! He was down. Only a sniper could have caused it.
